Paula Deen's Fig Rx To Beat Winter Dandruff!
Paula Deen, the widly popular southern cook who hosts her own show on
the Food Network is a big fan of figs.
Figs haven't caught on here in the U.S. but in other parts
of the world they're eaten quite regularly.
Figs like most fruits can benefit your health in a number of ways like...
1) More Milk- Help pregnant women produce more milk.
2) Easier Labor- Eat throughout prenancy and make a delivery a breeze.
3) Rx For Men- Keep the prostate gland normal size.
4) Stay Dandruff-Free- Drier air, Christmas goodies and colder air
make a dandruff a mainstay for a lot of people.
But thanks to Ms. Deen, you can create a "fig jam" and "fig oil"
(not from Ms. Deen) and keep the embarrasing flakes from
showing up on your scalp.
Figs are rich in vitamins A and B, which help you overcome a dry, itchy
scalp and bring it back to the proper pH levels. You can buy a fig-infused
product already made or you can make your own.
The product: Bain de Terra Sugar and Fig, Scalp Massage Scrub, find it at
Amazon.com, price $18. Or try Chaz Dean Fig Sweet Orange Treatment Oil,
find it at ChazDean.com. It helps with irration and controls those white flakes.
Or make your own...
The recipe:
Fig Oil-
1 fresh fig.
2 tbsps. olive, almond or coconut oil.
The directions:
Pour the oil into a bowl, place a strainer over the bowl and squeeze the juice of one
fig into the oil. Massage the oil into your scalp and wet hair. Sit back for 10 to 20
mins. and then shampoo hair as usual. Enough for one massage session.
And if you still want a little more from Ms. Deen, try her fig jam, use it on
toast, a bowl of oatmeal or a bagel.
The recipe for Fig Jam!
In a non-aluminu pot, place 1/2 lb. fresh figs (stemmed)
with 6 tbsps. sugar, some grated lemon zest and 1 1/2 tbsps. from
one lemon. Bring this to a boil over medium-high heat,
stirring until sugar is dissolved. Turn down the heat until
the mixture thickens, (about 10 mins.) Remove from heat, let cool.
Serve on the above mentioned toast and store the rest in a clean container
and refrigerate. Makes a little less than 2 cups.
That's It- Figs to remove Winter dandruff.
Good Luck!
